Finding himself in a parking garage with no memory except of his murder is just the start of Inspector Cole Dunavan’s troubles. Even after he remembers who he is and accepts that he’s a ghost, Cole has no idea why he's become a ghost. He senses there's more to it than his murder. Worse, he has no idea how to be a ghost. It doesn't come with instructions. No one sees or hears him. He can't move objects. And initially, he can't even walk through doors or walls. He learns to his horror that his body has not been found and the circumstances of his disappearance make it appear he betrayed his marriage and killed his lover. He struggles with learning to communicate, proving the truth about his death so he can clear his and the woman's names, and preventing another possible murder. Along the way, however, Cole also discovers that haunting can be fun.
